Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“What can a good guru do for you? Maybe he can teach you at 20 what you can only understand at 60 and save your 40 years! Well, what can you do to someone who saved your 40 years? You can save someone else's 40 years too, and the goal of a good guru is everyone's salvation, and you pay off your debt by serving that purpose!”

“If someone, or thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions starts seeing you as a guru, you're on the wrong path, because the issue isn't about you being seen as something special; the issue is about enabling the masses you want to help to benefit from your ideas! If it's your ideas that shine, not you, then you're on the right path; if your ideas become the guru, not you, then you're on the right path!”

“Each time a new flower blooms, you are that flower. You are living in an infinite quantum field, so it does not matter in which direction you can choose to view reality - as a hierarchical chain from lowest to highest or a hierarchy from highest to lowest - it does not matter. Because there is an endless blossoming of this flower in all directions. You cannot simply say that you are 'ascending upwards' for example, because there is no up or down, right, or left, or diagonal, in the infinite quantum field. Just as you cannot order soup in a restaurant and ask the waiter to please serve each ingredient separately, so too, humanity also lives in a quantum vibratory soup. That is why there is no dogma in Gnosticism. You just need to intensify your consciousness.”

“It is only when we are truly alone without someone else to lean on; left with our own inner solitude that we can undergo a real process of change. The introspection that is needed to bring out the light that has dwindled down to ash and reignite the fire of our being. So let the darkness shape you, let it reform you, let it cradle you and birth you into a new life; a new way of being. Let the spark flame again, in the darkness is where you will find it.”
